Robotic-Assisted Surgery

MemorialCare Health System is committed to being at the forefront of technology and to provide our patients with the best care and outcomes. Our highly skilled surgeons are trained in a number of minimally invasive robotic-assisted surgery.

How Robotic-Assisted Surgeries are Performed

Through robotic-assisted visualization, dexterity, precision and control, a surgeon can perform a wide array of procedures through small 1-2 cm incisions. During an operation, the surgeon sits at a console to direct the robotic arms to perform the surgery. The robot seamlessly and directly translates the surgeon’s natural hand, wrist and finger movements from controls at the console to the surgical instruments inside the patient.

Instruments that become an extension of the surgeon's wrists, hands and fingers to move the tiny surgical instruments in a delicate, precise manner.
